2023 Domaine de la Pousse d'Or Volnay Clos des 60 Ouvrees Premier Cru

Other Reviews...
Red and black fruits, spice, violets, blood orange, and floral nuances all emerge from the 2023 Volnay 1er Cru Clos De 60 Ouvrees Monopole, the well-known monopole within the Caillerets Dessus that remains the domaine's flagship. It's medium-bodied, with a remarkably focused, balanced mouthfeel, ripe tannins, and a great finish. It has a classic layered, seamless profile with outstanding length. Aged 12 months in French oak with 20% new barrels followed by six months in stainless steel, it's beautifully done and will keep for 20 years. Drink 2026-2046.

An exuberantly spicy nose combines notes of exotic jasmine tea, anise, violet, acacia, essence of red cherry and the barest hint of wood. The super-sleek middle weight flavors possess a really lovely underlying tension that adds a sense presence to the overtly stony, youthfully austere and strikingly long finale. This is terrific with the potential to match. Drink through 2033+.
